ADHD advocate, neurodiversity champion Dani Donovan to visit UGA

 

• Description

  The rise of content creators is rapidly transforming the mental healthcare landscape. Discover the revolutionary synergy of online communities, compassionate healthcare providers, and patient education in the treatment of ADHD. In this talk, Dani explores how social media platforms are not only sources of support, but also wellsprings of innovative coping strategies tailor-made for ADHD brains. Learn how the digital age empowers patients to become partners in their own healthcare journey, promoting long-term treatment success through self-awareness, self-advocacy, and the ripple effect of shared knowledge. This talk is designed specifically for clinicians, mental healthcare providers, and professionals looking to embrace these evolving trends and better support their ADHD patients.
